i'm a bit divided about that story. on one hand, it is kinda intersting and well writtne.
on the other, the whole causality thing just doesn't work. it makes no sense that, since she is not creating these events, that there is causality at work.
and the times where events end up being repeats, it feels more like convenience for the plot than some force at work sadly enough.
time travel stories are always messy. this one sadly sufffers from the same pains.

I can see where your coming from and yes the could be cause to the principles of how time travel works, but in truth there is no real way to know if could work in the way that makes sense to us. Even the characters aren't entirely sure of what could happen in changing history, that is one of the biggest internal conflicts within Sunset herself.
Thats why in terms of at least time travel I try to ignore the inconsistencies, paradoxes, and manipulation of the idea of time travel as long as it serves to support the story and the character in a positive manner.
But it can be too glaring in stories for people that it leaves a sour taste, so I can understand how it can hinder your experience.

that is rather difficult to me. at the very least the causality stuff has to be from someone attempting to change the past yet in reality is the source of these events.
issue is stimuli. an action causes a reaction. a major change in the action will cause a major change in the reaction. in the time travel thing in the show, the action and reaction are linked together, the time magic creating the event of its use and keeping it isolated.
in this story we have a palyer who did not play a part involving herself in these events, greatly altering the action and thus should have completely altered the reaction.

I suppose that a bigger change should have been expected in her being apart of the past events, though little had changed except for the course of some events but it seems to be leading to the way everything ended up in the alternate timeline without Sunset. So I see how it can be disappointing how the story involves Sunset traveling to the future to change it when in the end she did little to do so.
Still I found it very compelling to see these events from her perspective, and we'll just have to see what will happen in the chapters to come in justifying her actions.
Though I try to judge stories in only what is presented, I try not fault it for what I hoped would happen or would be included, but it can be tough for that mindset to be suppressed. And for what is presented I did enjoy greatly.

a story where everything is for naught is a story that has little purpose. when the impact is no different than the character dying at the beginning, then what point is there to reading?
not to mention there are several plot holes as well. especially the part where the elements of harmony for some reason failed to destroy pure evil and kill something that was not even alive anymore.
the only way to avoid that plot hole, hwoever, could be the ways that susnet could End this, change the future. and she has the power to. two ways in fact.
it would explain why she still retained necormancy despite being ressurrected and purged by the elements. it was part of some plan.
if that does not happen, then it is gonna be disappointing...... can you guess how she can change things?

I've already assumed that Vesper retreated from her battle with Celestia to assimilate the frostlitch and fulfill the the event of creating her immortal soul there for making everything pointless, but because Sunset was immortal even before Vesper has even assimilated the frostlich which could mean that Sunset is completely separate in ties to Vesper's destiny, though that could be contradicted by the dark influence taking control over her when Vesper completes herself. But in the end the future would remain the same if Vesper becomes immortal, unless Sunset went further into the past to change Vesper's childhood directly, but she no longer has the hourglass, she left it which would make that non likely option.
All I hope is that it all isn't for naught, I would even settle for some kind of sacrifice from Sunset to erase all traces of herself from existence for the greater good, after all it's been a tragedy in all aspects.

actaully the fact she already has that necromancy is one method.
the second method is the nature of the regalia. of how it can be removed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They could force her to take it off through some method, since it's been established that the regalia can only be removed by the bearer or kill her if they have the chance, but that's very unlikely.
But the necromancy? As in raising the dead and learning about the future? I could see how that could work.

lich dude. kinda connection..
and yes, only the soul who donned the regalia can remove. it. when an individual wears it, no other can take it away from them. no other but themselves.

I can't stop smiling, it's too amazing! It's just... -squee!- I loooove it!

I always had an idea that Sunset was Celestia's Adopted Daughter. It makes sense. Sunset was just a regular unicorn and if she did have parents wouldn't they want to know where she is for like 30 moons?

It really does many head cannons I've read put her as an orphan that was brought up by Celestia, which works with her leaving everything and thinking only of herself to spite Celestia in particular. So I think that the whole Sunset and Celestia mother-daughter scenario seems most possible.
